New Testament

1 Kings 17:3-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.

4. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

5. So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.

6. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

7. And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

8. Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

9. “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”

10. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.”

11. And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
